The countdown is on to the Hill Country Holler. 3 days of non-stop fun at Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne this weekend! Congratulations to David Moore from Spring Branch. He won today’s passes!

The Zac Brown Band

This morning we went through a few names. The first name we called was for Michelle Porra. She never called in so we called Trent Livinston. We waited for 9 minutes and 23 seconds with no call from Trent, so we called out Letty Bohnert. She called in after about 3 minutes. She is going to see The Zac Brown Band next week!

Stupid News

Everyone freaked out about the job market yesterday, because an ad looking for McDonald’s cashiers in Massachusetts wanted applicants to have a BACHELOR’S DEGREE. Well, pump the brakes. The woman who runs the McDonald’s says it was a mistake, and she DOESN’T require people to have college degrees.

The pork and beef industries just announced they’re renaming hundreds of cuts of meat . . . to somehow make the names more descriptive AND less complicated. A few examples: “Pork chops” will now have names like New York chops and ribeye chops . . . beef loin top sirloin cubes are now kabobs . . . and pork butt is now a Boston roast.

On Easter, in Florida, a woman was eating Goldfish crackers and noticed one that had a CROSS branded on its side. To us, it looks like the cracker came into contact with the head of a screw . . . but to her, quote, “it’s a sign from God.” She’s not sure what she’s going to do with the Goldfish cracker yet.

On Wednesday, a 50-year-old man in Florida wanted to give himself a HOT SHAVE . . . so he put his can of shaving cream on the stove. Unfortunately, that’s incredibly stupid, since pressurized metal cans of shaving cream aren’t meant to be heated up . . . and it EXPLODED IN HIS FACE. He got a face full of flying aluminum shards, and was hospitalized with some cuts on his face.

Country Music News

KIMBERLY PERRY is still playing coy about her love life. She says she’ll, quote, “neither confirm nor deny” that she’s dating Toronto Blue Jays Catcher J.P.ARENCIBIA. But even if they won’t admit to a relationship, J.P. is still on Twitter gushing about the band’s new album.

According to PerezHilton.com, SHANIA TWAIN will present the Entertainer of the Year award at Sunday’s ACMs. It’s her first time on the show in 10 years.

SHERYL CROW performed an acoustic version of her new song “Easy”. It’ll be on her upcoming country album, which, last weheard, is due out in the fall. (–You can watch her perform it here.)

In case you missed it, KENNY CHESNEY visited “John Gruden’s QB Camp” on ESPN. COACH GRUDEN broke down Kenny’s technique of entering the stage for his song “Keg in the Closet”. (You can check it out here. Kenny’s “Keg in the Closet” breakdown starts at the 2:07 mark.)

Today’s Stupid News

A McDonald’s in Massachusetts just put up an ad for cashiers . . . and they’re requiring applicants to have a BACHELOR’S DEGREE. That’s right: In this job market, McDonald’s can be so picky with its hiring that they want COLLEGE GRADUATES working their registers for minimum wage. This isn’t necessarily a corporate-wide mandate . . . but it’s a SCARY sign of the times.

On April Fools’ Day, a 52-year-old woman in Tennessee called her sister and said, quote, “I shot my husband” . . . then asked for help burying the body. The sister didn’t know it was a prank. She told another family member, who called 911. Police IMMEDIATELY swarmed the woman’s house and arrested her . . . until her husband got home from work and proved it was a prank. No charges were filed.

This might be the April Fools’ Day prank this year that went the WORST. On the 1st, an 18-year-old woman in Oklahoma pranked her boyfriend by telling him she was PREGNANT. When he reacted BADLY, she got mad . . . and STABBED HIM in the NECK. He survived, but needed several stitches. She was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.

On Monday night, a 31-year-old in California wanted to impress a woman on a date . . . so he SLAMMED into another guy’s car. And when he and the other driver got out of their cars, he took a SWING at the other driver. Unfortunately for him . . . and his efforts to be impressive . . . the other driver beat HIM up and took him down. He was arrested for assault with force likely to cause great bodily harm.

Today’s Country Music News

CARRIE UNDERWOOD would leave the music business if that’s what her husband MIKE FISHER wanted. She said, quote, If Mike ever told me he needed me to quit, I’d quit. When you make that promise to somebody, you’ve got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work.”

TRACE ADKINS’ acting career has taken another step. According to IMDB.com, Trace grabbed the title role in the movie “The Virginian”. It also stars RON PERLMAN from “Sons of Anarchy” and “Hellboy”. It’s currently in production and there’s no word on a release date.

(–“The Virginian” was originally a book . . . and then a ’60s TV series starring JAMES DRURY. Your grandpa loved that show. Loved it!)

Can I interest you in the PISTOL ANNIES new “Hush Hush” lyric video? (–I thought so. Enjoy.)

Watch out in case you anybody foaming at the mouth. This must be the year for rabies. 3 cases have been confirmed in Kerrville alone over the past couple of weeks. So, what can we do, to keep our animals protected, and most importantly, our children?

This article from the Centers For Disease Control might help you.. We definitely don’t need a scene of “The Walking Dead” here in The Hill Country!
